SHS Weekly Newsletter #19

Message from Mr. Mitchell
With the middle of the trimester, and the last half of the school year, about to occur, I wanted to highlight a few items that are of importance.
First, our winter conferences will be this coming Thursday, 1/26, from 4:30-8:00pm in the commons area of the high school. Please be sure to read more information about conferences below as these will be the last opportunity of the year to meet with teachers in this fashion.
Second, our course selection process will begin at the end of this month. This is a time for students and families to identify the courses and academic/elective pathways that they are interested in exploring in the 2023-2024 school year. More information will be available in the next few weeks.
Finally, we continue to have issues with students not adhering to the stated parking policies. To prevent any parking citations and issues, please remind your student to park in the lot that their parking permit is specific to. We still have parking permits available through the application link further down in the newsletter.
Have a great weekend, and Go Bowmen!
Mr. Mitchell
